Description
Cousins Justin and Matt launched Sacred Vice Brewing in 2018 inspired by shared family memories and the dream to become part of Philadelphia’s long and epic brewing history. They’ve been extremely blessed to join what’s one of the best beer neighborhoods in all of the US — the scene that’s developing on the north side of Philadelphia from Callowhill to Northern Liberties to Fishtown through Kensington. At heart, they’ve always been happy to make beer that they like to drink and share them with friends and family.

In 2021, Andrew “Ruby” Rubenstein joined them as partner and head brewer. Ruby has nearly two decades of award-winning brewing experience, most recently with 2SP Brewing in Delco and Iron Hill. Together, they plan on making even more beer they like to drink and share.

Draft at John & Peter's Place in New Hope, PA. while watching a performance by Hubbell Benson. Amber gold pour has a finger high white head. Aroma of bready malt and mild citrus. Flavor is more of the same. Added notes of corn, grapefruit and pine. Light bodied and very drinkable.

Draught at Lost Time: pours light amber with white head. Aroma is light caramel, some pleasant breadiness, light floral hops. Taste is sort of sweet, a little bitter. Sort of between one of the old school, malty-heavy US Oktoberfests and the lighter Festbiers that are becoming more prevalent lately.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting XVI (Last Call) on 10/09/2025. Clear golden color with a medium frothy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Floral and fruity aroma with yeast and malt notes. Light-bodied with flavors of floral yeast, tropical fruit and grainy malt. The finish is fruity with a yeast and malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
